Sivakasi's times use the Karachi method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in India. They are drawn from Sivakasi's own coordinates (9.4500°N, 77.7980°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Sivakasi's prayer times are worked out

From Sivakasi, the Qibla is 293° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,268 km (2,652 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Sivakasi's own coordinates (9.45°N, 77.80°E), not a national average. That is why Sivakasi's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Sivakasi sits just 9.45°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Karachi method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 58m. The shortest is about 12h 50m. That is a swing of only 1h 08m between June and December. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Sivakasi come from the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. The Karachi method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 18°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Tiruttangal, Srivilliputhur and Virudunagar. Each is only a few minutes off Sivakasi's clock.
